 Poster: A snowHead
|
Morning everyone - has anyone any suggestions for a b and b or hotel to stopover for one night near bourg-en-bresse with easy access to A40 please?
We will be driving from Geneva direction westbound on the A40 and then taking the A39 as it splits just north of bourg-en-bresse.
Have looked up a few options but would welcome any info from snowheads - tia

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks Hells Bells, - was looking for something specifically on outskirts east/north east of Bourg-en-Bresse so will have a look and see if any of the options on your thread match up.

Great - thanks, I thought there had been something in the past and believe it or not I did a search on hotels in bourg-en-bresse before posting but couldn't find anything! So thanks again

Etap at B e B adjacent to a reasonable restaurant , Xtreme Chicken as we call it and just a couple of miles ish from the autoroute. Also across the road from an out of town retail park with supermarket, fuel and sports shop plus others. There are a few other chain hotels in the area and a number or Accor group ones.

Stayed at the Campanile in Viriat part of Bourg en Bresse last summer on our way down. Rooms were perfectly fine, breakfast was good. They did evening meals but we found ourselves in a Bufallo Grill practically next door.
It's a typical out of town industrial/retail park with all the usual hotels you expect right next to each other so there's a choice. Perfectly adequate for an overnighter.

loatie, one of the motorway aires in that area (on the A39 I think) has a built in hotel which is OK - stopped there once when we emerged from one of the tunnels on the A40 into a full-blown blizzard and decided not to go on as far as Dijon, as we'd planned.
Can't remember which one it is - but they have a big duckpond thing between the hotel and where you park.

Just don't try going to BeB with anything over 6m length or 6t weight 'cos there's a restriction on both in the town centre.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

The IBIS at Jasseron is literally next to the motorway in a service station and not at all appealing looking, so worth chosing something nicer in the town, which is very attractive
Without the benefit of continental satnav I relied on the paper map the Bourge en Bresse IBIS booking printout gave and found it almost impossible to find, wasted the whole evening driving round town in a snowstorm looking for clues, so if you choose that one go prepared

T-Dub, depends on your requirements, for some on here, their overnight stop is just that, somewhere to lay their heads for a quick exit the following morning. Not for me, I prefer the more appealing option.
